"Fruitful retreats will save lives. Successful retreats will count numbers. That is the same with our lives as well. We are called to be fruitful people. Where I am planted by the Lord; Where I am permitted to be by the Lord, that is where I will bear fruit because the Lord's Hand is upon me. I might not be healthy; I might not be wealthy; I might not be successful - but I will be fruitful."

"The Lord is your blessing. He will provide you enough."

"Never be a stealer of blessings. What is needed for me, the Lord will give me."

" Do you want something new in your life? Then let the 40 days be your preparation. This retreat will only be a platform. After that, build on this retreat so that you may grow for the Glory of God."

"The old will be shed; the NEW will begin."
